Case number:

With BP fund administrator Kenneth Feinberg proposing that tort claimants waive their right to sue the oil giant, The Wall Street Journal has suggested that the "sleeper" suit facing BP is the consolidated securities class action.

Trustee's Claim of Protection Denied

A New York appellate panel held that a bank was liable for its failure to diversify investments held in its trust.

Associates Survey 2008

Smaller firms often outscore larger ones on our annual survey of midlevel job satisfaction. It may be because a more intimate atmosphere breeds happiness. Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey. In the second category are Am Law Second Hundred firms?numbers 101-200 on the most recent Am Law 200 survey (July.) In the final category are firms that appear on our most recent Am Law 100 (May) or Global 100 (October 2007) survey. For a full methodology, click here.

Further, the result of the criminal trial almost certainly will reduce Mr. Marshall's recovery in a separate surrogate's proceeding from the $132 million fortune of the society figure and philanthropist who died in 2007 at the age of 105. Francis X. Morrissey, a lawyer who assisted Mr. Marshall in Ms. Astor's estate planning, was convicted of all five charges against him, including forgery.

Freshfields' Restructuring Marks a Break With the Past

This year, for the first time ever, London's Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer was sued by a former partner. Never mind the damages sought; the publicity was bad enough. The suit and the internal wranglings it exposed are testimony to a cultural shift at Freshfields, which had always prided itself on a certain collegiality. Underperformers have been weeded out, and the firm's equity partnership fundamentally altered. Now, as the bloodletting draws to a close, partners insist that the upheaval was worth it.
